The Texas Rangers’ final homestand will gave fans a glimpse of what Texas was hoping for as the Seattle Mariners come to town starting on Friday.

Why? Friday’s starting pitcher is Jacob deGrom, who is making his second start since he fully recovered from Tommy John surgery last year.

Saturday’s starter is Max Scherzer. When the Rangers traded for him last July, the hope was that at some point this year the pair could be in the rotation and help the Rangers (73-80) get back to the playoffs.

Well, they’re pitching back-to-back. But there is no playoff berth to chase. Texas is well out of the hunt, ensuring the drought of repeat World Series champions continues.

deGrom will be back next year. Scherzer? Well, he’ll hit free agency so no one knows for sure. But, given his age and the price he’ll command, it’s unlikely he’ll be back in Texas in 2025.

The Mariners (78-75) would likely need to out to catch the Houston Astros in the AL West race. Stranger things have happened.
